Make your home the best
version of itself with
Green Deal

The Green Deal is a scheme designed by government to help
homeowners and landlords invest in renewable energy or
energy efficient products, by providing them with attractive
finance which they repay through their electricity bills.

With a Green Deal plan, you can add value to your property. The products installed will make the property more attractive for tenants to live in and may increase the value of the property itself

Under a Green Deal Plan there is a minimal financial outlay for you. Your tenants will repay the Green Deal Loan through their electricity bills. Tenants benefit from a warmer, more efficient, home and are given protection against rising energy costs through the efficiency of the products installed

Under the “Golden Rule” the cost to repay the loan should be covered by the energy savings following the installation. This means that if your tenants are typical energy users, their electricity bill is estimated not to increase.See more details on how the Golden Rule works here

From the 1st April 2018, there will be a legislative requirement for any properties rented out in the private rented sector to have a minimum energy performance rating of E on an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

A Green Deal Plan can be a great way to improve the home you’re living in – even if you don’t own it

A Green Deal Plan is an arrangement by your landlord to install energy efficient home improvements to your property. However, unlike conventional arrangements, the repayments for a Green Deal Plan are added to the electricity bill of the property and so are paid for by you. The improvements are all designed to save money on the energy bills

The repayments for the loan in the first year cannot exceed the energy savings that a typical user would save. So if you’re a typical energy user, the improvements shouldn’t cost you any more than what you are currently paying

The loan stays with the property when you move out. So you can be confident that you will only be responsible for it whilst you’re benefiting from the improvement

The Green Deal is a government endorsed scheme
